A fake announcement in the local newspaper regarding an engagement
between a young man and woman from Salterton's high society
revolutionizes life in the city. The alleged bride's father,
Professor Vambrace, is not willing to forgive an offense he
considers insulting, and his planned lawsuit against the paper
could have unpredictable consequences. Meanwhile, a storm is
brewing in the editorial department at the "Evening Bellman," in
which its affable director, the owner's intriguing daughter-in-law,
and a veteran editor find themselves immersed. The rest of the city
buzzes with rumors as the residents ponder what role the crazy
organ player and the new choir teacher have in the scandal.""This
second installation in the Salterton Trilogy and the sequel to
"Tempest-Tost" portrays peaceful provincial life in a Canadian city
with masterful irony. "Un anuncio falso en un periodico local de un
compromiso matrimonial entre dos jovenes de la alta sociedad de
Salterton revoluciona la vida en la ciudad. El padre de la supuesta
novia, el profesor Vambrace, no esta dispuesto a olvidar una ofensa
que el considera injuriosa y su anunciada demanda podria tener
consecuencias impredecibles. Mientras tanto, en la redaccion del
"Evening Bellman" se desata una tormenta en la que se ven inmersos
su afable director, la intrigante nuera del dueno del periodico y
uno de los redactores mas veteranos. El resto de la ciudad se
convierte en un hervidero de rumores mientras los residentes se
preguntan que tienen que ver en el escandalo el alocado organista
de la catedral y un advenedizo profesor de canto." "Esta segunda
instalacion en la Trilogia de Salterton y la continuacion de la
novela "A merced de la tempestad" retrata con magistral ironia la
tranquila vida provinciana de una ciudad canadiense."
